Usenet has always been intentionally broadcast to the world. You always knew that the whole world could easily read your posts without having to do any kind of extra work. It was sent to them directly. And people have been archiving Usenet since the 80's. So while I have Usenet posts from over 10 years ago that are accessible by Google, I don't mind it. However Flyertalk is not the same. We don't send Flyertalk feeds to every internet site in the world. It's our little club. And as I said earlier, surfing to flyertalk.com and poking around isn't the same as plugging in Hotel XXX sucks into Google and finding some hate thread of ours.
